I first noticed brown spotting on 6 June, which was unusual because it has never happened in any of my previous cycles. In the days that followed, I began experiencing nausea, dizziness, exhaustion, and constant hunger. At first, I didn’t think much of it and assumed my period was simply coming earlier than expected cause my cycles are kinda wonky at times. However, my period never arrived that week. As the days went by, the intensity of my symptoms continued to increase. At the same time, several people started asking whether I was expecting because they felt I looked different. That made me suspicious, so I started taking pregnancy tests. I tested three times, and all were negative. I decided to wait until my expected period date, which is tomorrow, 18 June, before testing again. Last night, after using the toilet, I noticed light pink blood dripping down, which was different from my usual bright red menstrual blood. I decided to put on a pad before going to bed and monitor the situation. This morning, I woke up to a completely clean pad with no spotting or bleeding, yet I feel more nauseated than ever. Part of me is tempted to take another test today, but I think I should wait until tomorrow. The waiting is incredibly frustrating. I do feel and look very pregnant though so I’m hoping it’s not false alarm. But you know overthinking sucks.

Since finding out I’m pregnant again, I haven’t felt as excited as I did before. This is my third pregnancy, and I have a 5-year-old daughter. After my previous loss, I’ve been feeling very anxious and cautious. Even now at 12 weeks, I still worry about losing the baby. When I had spotting at 4 weeks, I rushed to the hospital, and whenever something doesn’t feel right, I end up going to A&E for reassurance.

Hi! Looking to see if there are any other mothers who gave birth and they were overweight. I am 131kg at 154cm and I was diagnosed with GDM and the doctor said i am at high risk for preeclampsia. These has me feeling a little worried but the scan shows that the baby’s heartbeat is great and healthy at 13 weeks. How was your birth process like? Did you have to be induced by 38 weeks or were you able to go through labour naturally? Or do you have to go through csect? I have these questions because I was wondering if I should just go subsidised all the way and give birth in B2 ward or if I should go private in my third trimester and give birth in B1. Oh, I am currently seeing the doctors at NUH. Thank you so much in advance! #firsttimemom #nuh #preeclampsia #GDM #plussizebirth
